Ok, considering your all in on the turn i think you have the flush. You push on the turn as you are afraid he will check behind. You might have AKs.

He could have a wide range of hands. Perhaps he min raised the flop with a Jack, and turned 2 pair - unlikely. I think he could have had a straight or flush draw. Considering the fact you posted the hand, he might have had both draws.

You - AKs
Him - 67s

close and... nowhere near ♦ He never (rarely?) min-raises a jack. Keep trying ^^

A :spade:Q and 5 :club:5 :heart:, what do i win?

you don't win. I don't think you could've been closer though.

Note that villain played terrible, no matter what hand he had. To all pokerplayers: don't miniraise, it's baaaaaad.

well it was 88 but close enough. you win... the right to evaluate the hand.
Others too btw. Merits of open-pushing vs betting 2/3 pot?

I like a donkpush vs bad players (he obv. is with his minraise on the flop) because they usually put you on a bluff or something or top pair and think you don't want to go to showdown. BUT, you know he's strong (minraises usually mean 2 pair or set with bad players) so you will have to find the strength to c/f if a Q or A comes up imo, or atleast hope to get a _cheap_ showdown.
Oh yeah if u bet 2/3e pot he just flatcalls prolly and sees river "cheaper", but you'll prolly get his money anyhow then if a non comes up. You might get fucked with the board pairing though (and 30BB left in a 160BB pot...).

However, against a good player I don't know whether u maximize value this way (on the other hand, a good player probably raises flop $10 more) so pot is $20 bigger and you have $10 less left.
-> How would u react if you flop set and river brings 3rd flushcard and someone bets psb all-in after b/c flop...

-> How would u react if you flop set and river brings 3rd flushcard and someone bets psb all-in after b/c flop...

easy call imo.

There are ten outs to the FH or quads if he has a flush, and sometimes they don't have a flush, so you have plenty of equity to make that call.

I know, I also never find a fold there cause of the amount of hands I still beat and the suckout value. Just stating thought process of a 'good' player (well actually in this case it isnt even a hard call for me because of the money invested + possible scarecard-bluff-floats).

So basically, seeing flopaction (with the retarded minraise etc) I think a donkbet is fine because you will VERY often get called by set/2pair/(lower flush obv). Maybe not how u should play it but u maximized you're value so dnno. I'd play it 100% the same imo (especially if villain is passive).
